I'm A Soldier Born To Die Poem by Solomon Terlumun Tule

I'm A Soldier Born To Die

Rating: 5.0


If I die in a war zone
Box me up and take me home
Put my medals on my chest
Tell my mom I did my best
Tell my dad not bow
He won't get tension from now
Tell the rank and file not to bend
If this war must come to an end
Tell my brother to study well
keys to my bike are on the way
Tell my sister not to be upset
Her brother will not rise after this sunset
Tell my love not to cry
I'm a soldier born to die.
